A gunman opened fire at an Arkansas grocery store Friday, killing at least three and wounding several others, authorities said. The deadly incident unfolded about 11:30 a.m. CT at the Mad Butcher in Fordyce, a small town about 70 miles south of Little Rock. Eleven people were wounded, including the three who died, Arkansas State Police said in a news conference Friday afternoon. Two officers were also injured but had non-life-threatening injuries.
“He shot at my mother’s car and hit the tire and pssshshsh,” Amiya said, mimicking the sound of air escaping. Car windows all around them were shot, but the sisters’ SUV had only tire damage. Amiya said she grabbed her sister Ashiya and pulled her down to avoid being hit. “It was like a movie,” said Ashiya, who was also unharmed. The violence stunned Roderick Rogers, a Fordyce native and pastor at Grace United Church. “I saw people just lying in the parking lot,” he said.
